BP Schiehallion - produced water degasser
Client: BP Schiehallion - UK In July 2004 BP was required to take its produced water degasser on the Schiehallion FPSO offline for essential upgrade work. Without a replacement technology BP potentially faced a production shutdown during repairs. CETCO offered its CrudeSep® technology to BP as a temporary degasser vessel. In addition to oil and solids removal the CrudeSep® also acts as an ...

Micro Media Filtration Proving Effective in Produced Water Softening Systems
Having an e? ective, durable pretreatment system in advance of ion exchange produced-water softening systems is the ? rst, most critical line of defense – ensuring smooth, more troublefree performance downstream. It’s especially true when dealing with today’s ion exchange technologies, which require TSS (total suspended solids) of 0.1-0.5 mg/L and turbidities of 0.1-1 NTU ...

Produced water treatment from a to Zinc - reducing levels of Zinc in a produced water stream
Problem At vast depths, the ocean floor consists of layers of decaying plant and animal matter, containing chemicals like sulphate and zinc, which has built up over the years. When operators are drilling, the matter is disturbed and the various chemicals are released into the water. Since the mid 1980’s the pace of exploration, production, and development in the deep waters of the Gulf of Mexico ...

White paper - Ion Exchange Theory
Ion exchange is the removal of unwanted “charged” particles, called ions, from raw water. In this process the ions are transferred to a solid particle, called an ion exchanger, which accepts these ions while returning an equal number of desirable ions. The exchangers are made of porous plastic resin, which gives them many “exchange sites”. In the basic reaction, an ion ...

Case study of Moyno Tri-Phaze System
Pembina Belly River B East Unit, Warburg, Alberta, Canada In 1994, Talisman Energy, Inc. acquired the majority working interest in the Pembina Belly River B East Unit in Warburg, Alberta, Canada. It was considered attractive due to its potential to increase oil production through workovers and infill drilling. The old battery, constructed in the 1960’s, consisted of a production header ...

Enhanced oil recovery scheme in the sultanate of oman
The Facility This project is an Enhanced Oil Recovery Field and is located in the South-Central area of the Sultanate of Oman, approximately 660 kilometers from Muscat and 560 kilometers from Salalah. The design requirements for this Development are similar to most self-sufficient oilfields in a remote desert environment. The primary differences are the steam generation and associated water ...

Global Market for Produced Water Treatment Poised for Growth
Produced water — water that’s left over from oil and gas production — isn’t just water that’s used for extraction. It also includes groundwater that rises to the surface with the oil or gas. The worldwide market for produced water treatment is expected to grow significantly as oil and natural gas exploration continue to increase. Two reports covering aspects of the ...

Carbon nanotube composite membranes for small ‘designer’ water treatment systems
Small water systems that serve fewer than a few thousand persons are often less safe and less sustainable than large drinking water systems due to lack of suitable technologies. This ongoing research aims to develop a novel water treatment technology for small communities. By layering structured, functional carbon nanotubes (CNT) onto low pressure membranes (LPMs), composite membranes were ...

TB 56: Power plant in thailand uses liqui-cel® membrane contactors to remove co2 from water
A major power plant in Thailand is using Liqui-Cel® Membrane Contactors to remove carbon dioxide from a DI water system. The system is an expansion project and will be used to feed a high pressure boiler. Liqui-Cel Contactors are being used to lower the CO2 inlet into an Ionpure EDI system. Carbon dioxide adds an ionic load to the EDI system, which can reduce the performance of the system. ...

Membrane fouling
The Problem: Membrane water treatment is costly and complex due to the systems required to mitigate membrane fouling. Membranes have, therefore, been relegated to high value applications such as desalination and ultra-pure water needs. The systems used to mitigate fouling have a history of underperformance and high cost. EconoPure Solution: EconoPure has developed a low-fouling nanofiltration ...

Decision support system for risk management of produced water in offshore oil and gas industries
A decision support system for produced water management (DISSPROWM) in offshore operations is presented. The system determines the risk and hazards to human and marine species from non-carcinogenic and carcinogenic pollutants present in produced water including radionuclides. The DISSPROWM also evaluates best available treatment technology for treating the produced water whose properties are in ...

Novel ion-exchange system softens produced water for steam generation
As California entered a period of severe drought in 2008, the challenges of using thermal methods to extract heavy oil became compounded by the difficulty of securing freshwater sources from which to generate the high-quality steam that these methods require. In an effort to manage the crisis, then-Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger proclaimed a state of emergency and enacted widespread ...
